Abstract
WHAT a surprise is in store for the children next Christmas if Mr. Edison's expectations are realised. Dolls that can say “papa” and “mamma,” will be quite at a discount and will bear much the same relation to the doll of the future that the anthropoid ape does to the man of to-day, and the time will probably have come for some Darwinian toy-maker to write the history of doll development, if, indeed, he does not extend his researches to the whole world of toys. We are promised dolls that can speak, sing, cry, laugh; musical-boxes that will grind out the voice and words of the human singer; locomotives and every other species of “animal and mechanical toy,” that will give out their natural and characteristic sounds.
